Anyway on with the chapter!!

***********************************************************************

Tsuzuki sat crawled up on the floor of the room in which they had placed the body of Tatsumi. Since his words to his partner Tsuzuki hadn't spoken a word to anyone. The doctors had all pronounced Tatsumi dead, there had been some nurses there who had stripped the deceased of all his belongings and placed it all in a box which they in turn had carefully placed next to Tsuzuki and left the room.

No one had dared to speak to Tsuzuki since he had arrived in Meifu carrying Tatsumi's body in his arms. Not even Konoue had had the courage to speak to his most powerful shinnigami, in fear of Tsuzuki loosing that ire calm that rested over him. The poor Watari was in mental shock, he had stopped crying and now he only stared into space in his office, frustrating his tiny pet owl, 003.

Soon night settled in Meifu and most left for home, feeling down about the loss of their superior.

When the last nurse had left, Tsuzuki rose from his corner and stumbled over to Tatsumi's side. The body was covered by a white sheet, naked and cold underneath that cover. A trembling hand grabbed hold of the sheet, staying there for awhile only holding the fabric tightly. Then slowly, Tsuzuki pulled off the cover off of his friend, discarding it on the floor.

At first his eyes was kept closed as his hand went up and hovered above Tatsumi's cold still chest. Without touching the body beneath his hand Tsuzuki opened his eyes and looked at Tatsumi's body.

It was pale and perfect in every way except for the ugly fatal wound in the shadow user's abdomen.

"Tat... su...mi..." Tsuzuki whispered and felt his tears fall down his cheeks. Slowly he leaned over the still form of his ex-partner and placed a tender kiss on the slightly blue lips of his dearest friend.

"I'll avenge you!" Tsuzuki said with determination, he let his head rest on the still chest of Tatsumi, letting his tears fall unto the cold flesh. "I will kill Omega! I'll kill him for you, my beloved friend. I promise you." Tsuzuki rose to his feet, gave Tatsumi's body a last glance before he covered it again with the white sheet.

*****

"So... I was right!" Hisoka declared. The Death-list had not recorded any death of a shinnigami and Tatsumi's tall shinnigami life-candle still burned bright.

"Yes it seems so, what happened anyway... I know of the mission to stop some boy, but what's really going on?" the Earl's deep voice sounded worried and curious at the same time. Hisoka shook his head and closed his emerald eyes.

"I don't know for sure either. I thought I did but... The one who know is Tsuzuki... he was with Omega and Tatsumi when Omega made me and Watari leave... He's been there the whole time along with Tatsumi... Watari told me how Omega 'killed' Tatsumi while speaking about Tsuzuki taking away Touda from him. I didn't really get it..." Hisoka trailed off and turned to the Earl watching as the mask floated closer to him, stopping some steps away.

"You were jealous of them, weren't you?" the Earl asked and saw the eternal teen turn crimson with embarrassment and rage.

"No! If Tsuzuki's happy then I'm fine!!" He cried and turned away, pouting. He felt a hand being placed on his shoulder giving him a reassuring squeeze. "I do not believe you, but it's fine. You have to tell Tsuzuki about Tatsumi and inform Konoue-dono as well, so that they don't do anything foolish to Tatsumi. Go now and hurry, Omega will soon begin his rampage." The Earl stepped away and beckoned for Hisoka to leave. The boy smiled and nodded then hurried away.

"Good luck, young one, keep our dear Tsuzuki safe and in one piece." He whispered and watched the wavering candle of his dearest shiki summoning shinnigami.

"Hurry, Please."

*****

Hisoka knocked on the door to Watari's lab where one of his co-workers had said that he could find Konoue. The elderly shinnigami was the one who answered the door, blinking as he noticed it was Hisoka.

"Kurosaki-kun? Um, come in..." he moved out of the way and Hisoka entered, walking over to Watari's side and placed a hand on the other's shoulder only to snap it back as fast. Watari felt such anguish it hurt the empath.

"Kurosaki-kun what is it?" Konoue said and turned to Hisoka, he had not seen the youngest shinnigami snap his hand away from Watari. "You should be at Tsuzuki's side at a time like this, where have you been? Watari said something about you leaving." Konoue bade Hisoka to take a seat on the three-seated sofa (Watari's bed most of the time ^.^;;), opposite of the chair which Konoue had taken for his own.

"Yes... I went to the House of Candles and spoke to the Earl. I had a... feeling. So I asked him to show me Tatsumi's shinnigami life-candle and the Death-list." Hisoka paused and took a deep breath, his eyes fixed on Watari who still stared off into space.

"Yes..?" Konoue urged Hisoka to continue.

"Oh, yes... I saw it and Tatsumi's candle is still burning strong and the Death-list has recorded no death of any shinnigami for a long time. Which means..."

"Tatsumi is alive?!" Watari's cry startled both Hisoka and Konoue who jumped. Before any of them got to answer the scientist he was out the door running towards the room where they kept Tatsumi's body.

Hisoka and Konoue followed closely behind, and they entered the room just as Watari ripped the sheet off of the supposedly dead man.

Watari grabbed a hold of Tatsumi's shoulders and shook him violently. "Tatsumi!" Watari sank to his knees, sobbing uncontrollably, Tatsumi's hand in his, as it leaned over the edge of the bed, along with the upper part of Tatsumi's body.

"Why..? Why do you... think that?" Watari pressed forth from between his sobs.

"What..?" Hisoka entered the room fully with Konoue after him, staring at the odd position of Tatsumi's naked body.

"You say he's alive!? Well I, like all who have knows some degree of medicine, say he's dead, gone, seized to be!! There is no pulse, no breath, no noting, Tatsumi's dead!!" Watari cried and bent his head.

"He's alive, Watari... the candles don't lie. I think Omega made us believe otherwise, somehow." Hisoka said and knelt by the miserable scientist.

"Why would he do that..?" Watari asked and looked at Hisoka with teary eyes hidden behind his messy hair and tear-stained glasses. Konoue tenderly placed the sheet back on Tatsumi for decency's sake.

"To get to Tsuzuki... If I figured this right, he expects Tsuzuki to seep revenge, and alone Tsuzuki WILL lose. When it's to late for Tsuzuki he will tell him about Tatsumi being alive, that will break Tsuzuki utterly... especially if he "accidentally" kills Himura... Waste of human life, you all know how he is..." Hisoka said, not at all in a down manner but full of concern. Konoue and Watari both agreed on that, Tsuzuki become guilty and might even loose it again as in Kyoto.

"Where is Tsuzuki anyway?" Hisoka asked suddenly and both of the older men froze. Hisoka feeling the dread from them immediately understood what that meant.

"Kuso!!" he swore and turned on his heel and ran out of the room. Watari followed him with his golden eyes, slowly a sad smile settled on his features.

"Boss, please watch over Tatsumi, if he does wake up as Hisoka say he will, then tell him that we're kicking Omega's ass!" with that said Watari released his hold of Tatsumi's hand and left as well.

*****

"Himura, wake up my strong boy." The teen slowly opened his eyes and met the pink ones of Omega. His face turned crimson by the fact that Omega was leaning over him, the shiki was on all fours over Himura's body. The mere thought made Himura excited in a way that he didn't believe he could be.

"O-Omega what are yo--!!" Himura was cut short by Omega's hands gripping his groin. Omega chuckled as he felt a hardness there.

"Oh my, boy, is that for me?" he teased and let his hand rub against the boy's pants, draining a groan from Himura.

"Heh, I guess it is..." Omega said thoughtfully and let his hand snake its way into Himura's pants while he leaned down and captured Himura's mouth with his own.

This was fun, Omega thought and pumped the member he held, rhythmically. Himura moaned loudly into the kiss, his hands clutching the sheets of the bed he was lying in.

Soon Himura stiffened and his breath caught, on his face showed a picture that could have been pain locked in a silent scream. And he came, spilling himself over both of them.

"Ahh... Oh..." Himura breathed as it felt like he was in heaven, he saw Omega smile at him with a glint in his eyes. Omega rose his semen covered hand and licked his fingers. Himura stared in a mixture of disgust and wonder.

"Mmhh... salty... you taste wonderful, sweet boy..." Omega said and leaned down and let his lips trail Himura's lips then he captured those lips.

Himura could taste himself in that kiss. It was... disturbingly hot, somehow... Soon they parted and Omega rose from the bed and changed his clothing by the wave of his hand.

"Shall we start? I want to taste blood now, Himura-sama." Omega spoke as he stared out the window smiling with a evil smile.

"Uh... Uh... Yes let's start..." Himura sat up and flung his legs over the side of the bed. Yes they should get on with it but... NO!! If he'd went through all that bloodshed and trouble to be able to kill all his tormentors then he would go through with it!

The boy got changed into an outfit of black silk that Omega conjured up for him, and they left the place where Omega had brought them.

Outside Himura saw that it was a huge European-styled mansion with large French windows. Where was he?

"Shall I show you my true form?" Omega asked and looked at Himura, who nodded wide eyed.

Turning away Omega's whole body started shining in a red light, a light that soon blinded Himura who brought his arms up to cover his eyes.

When the light disappeared again and he peered trough his fingers towards Omega he was met by a startling sight.

Before Himura stood a tall figure with a red robe/cloak covering his entire figure reducing his face in shadow. In his hand the figure held Omega's sword. (a/n: think red clad Ring Wraith a la LotR ^_^)

"Come master, tell me who to kill first." Himura walked up to Omega and stared into the blackness that made up the figure's head.

"The first you're going to kill... Is me."
